Darling when I look into your eyes

Those swimming pools of blue and grey and white

It's like the world is standing at my side

With weapons down, ready to end the fight

Darling when you reach to hold my hand

When your thumb beats a tattoo on mine

It's like the drums of war have ceased again

And all that's left is peace, and lots of time

Darling when your arms pull me in close

To swing me in a dance around your room

It’s like we’re young again and real time slows

And I’ve forgotten everything of gloom

But when the time does come that we must part

The drums begin again, and war restarts
